It is time to sell my 2002 575M, ZFFBV55A120129068. I bought this Argento Nurburgring 575 with black interior and silver stitching in December of 2013.. It had been owned by a forum member from 2006 to 2013 and usually serviced at Algar in Philadelphia averaging 1200 miles a year. He traded it in at Naples Motorsport for a 2009 SCUD. It was then purchased by a person from Denver who decided after a few months that he preferred a BMW. It came to me with 13,970 miles and now has just under 26,700 miles on it.

here is build sheet and sticker. I bought this before I retired in June 2014 and commuted about 2 days a week in it , but then primarily used it for Starbucks runs every day, or errands around town during covid when I was working on the xk8 engine.

I’ve said it before Steve, this is a lovely example and I think the level of care and attention you have given the car under your stewardship has been commendable. Should give the next caretaker of the car a long happy experience. GLWTS! Ps pricing seems very reasonable in the current market.
Oh my Goodness. I heard something was coming down the pike along these lines. Wow, if I were to do it all over a I might…and I love my car. The stewardship is worth so much more than folks generally understand.
These 575s seem downright cheap compared to the 550s and SAs I've seen sell recently. I think the prices for these will be regarded as absolute bargains very soon. This one seems exceptionally well cared for and should not disappoint the new owner. A great deal at silly low money. Someone here should definitely pick this one up!
Wonderful machine, Steve. Love the long term ownership and consistent service. An honorable custodian! -Joe

That yellow is gorgeous . I never saw one when I was looking ten years ago. I wish there was service documentation for these auction cars.
That was a deal, especially after watching the video and finding out more about Micoli. What a cool guy. A much cooler Danny Devito lol. And what a businessman. And yes, these 575s appear to be deals like the car listed here. GLWS.
Actually there were more than one deal at this auction based on recent prices I think. I noted a 275, with the wrong nose sold for 1.2 or 3 recently? I know just the body man to fix it, he did the bodywork on the Charlie Nearburg GTO, showed up in our home town in SC. Go figure.
Steve After reading all the history, I just realized this was Andrew’s car The both of you took great car of this 575. It all ready for the next new owner .
